Liverpool are entering their latest European assignment under heavy scrutiny with their domestic collapse overshadowing an otherwise steady Champions League run. PSV are arriving sensing vulnerability, as the Merseyside giants resemble a side in transition rather than serial contenders.
History leans Liverpool’s way, particularly at Anfield. Even so, their current struggles remove any sense of predictability. PSV, unbeaten in all competitions for over a month, will believe this is their best chance in years to break a long-running hoodoo on English soil.

Florian Wirtz remains doubtful. Long-term absentee Giovanni Leoni also stays sidelined. Liverpool remain short at right-back, with Jeremie Frimpong and Conor Bradley unavailable. This leaves Dominik Szoboszlai to potentially continue as an emergency defender.
Andrew Robertson should reclaim the left-back role from Milos Kerkez. In attack, Mohamed Salah who’s chasing a personal Champions League milestone, is expected to start despite recent struggles. Hugo Ekitike may come in for Alexander Isak alongside Cody Gakpo, who faces his former club.

PSV report no fresh injuries after their weekend win over NAC Breda. Ruben van Bommel and Alassane Plea are the only confirmed absentees. Guus Til should once again lead the line, continuing a productive spell marked by five goals and an assist in his last five outings.
Behind him, Joey Veerman and Ismael Saibari remain key creative influence. Meanwhile, Ricardo Pepi, who scored against Liverpool last season offers an impactful option from the bench should the visitors need attacking impetus.
Liverpool’s collapse in the Premier League makes this fixture far more unpredictable than past meetings. They have conceded three goals in consecutive matches and look disjointed in all phases, especially defensively. PSV, although unbeaten recently, have leaned toward more cautious European performances.
They drew 1-1 on the road at Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos. Both teams’ recent patterns align with a lower-scoring match rather than an open contest. With Liverpool struggling for fluency and PSV preferring structured containment on the road, a tight 1-1 outcome fits the Under 2.5 line.
Guus Til has evolved into PSV’s surprise attacking focal point. He has produced six goal contributions in his last five appearances. He could trouble a Liverpool backline lacking confidence and organisation. With the Reds conceding three goals in back-to-back matches and missing several defensive pieces, Til should find opportunities against a porous structure. At +480, his form combined with Liverpool’s frailties makes this an attractive underdog scoring pick.
Even amid Liverpool’s broader slump, Mohamed Salah is still their most reliable threat. He is also chasing a significant Champions League mark by moving closer to 50 goals in the competition. His creativity has remained intact despite a recent goal drought, and he continues to generate high-value chances for teammates. Facing a PSV defence that concedes regularly in Europe (seven goals in four matches) Salah’s involvement in at least one decisive moment is highly plausible. The -260 line reflects that he remains Liverpool’s main attacking outlet.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Guus Til to score first | +1400 |
| Mohamed Salah to score anytime | -155 |
| Ivan Perisic to assist anytime | +470 |
| Cody Gakpo to either score or assist | -175 |
| Armando Obispo to see a card | +230 |

Liverpool’s defensive chaos and lack of rhythm make it difficult to back them despite their home pedigree. PSV are unbeaten in 11 matches and have shown resilience in Europe with consecutive 1-1 away draws and a balanced attacking structure. While Liverpool typically rise to the occasion at Anfield, their current flaws are too significant to ignore. Especially with key players missing and confidence evaporating.
PSV have enough momentum to claim a result. However, Liverpool should still produce a moment of quality, making a 1-1 draw the most reasonable outcome.
The Liverpool vs PSV Champions League clash is on November 26, 2025, at the Anfield Stadium, Liverpool, England.
Liverpool are favorites to win with a moneyline at -325, to draw at +500 and for PSV to win at +700.
Guus Til to score anytime: +280
Ivan Perisic to assist anytime: +550
Mohamed Salah to either score or assist: -500
